Hi Mark,

Were you using your vehicle's stock radio and antenna? (My car's stock 
radio tunes in 10 kHz steps, so I can't tune in the TAs.)

As described - like yesterday - slightly different / more Japan, less DU. Used 
2 receivers to establish parallels faster with good results.

Local T-storm at 1350 shut me down early - more on that later.

Some good video captures today.

Re: [IRCA] TA's in traffic (Sat. early evening)

[Mark Connelly via IRCA]

--- Begin Message ---
Car radio and stock antenna used.  10 kHz steps.

Especially with TA's that are 2 kHz or less separated from a domestic channel, 
the TA audio can be heard in cases where the TA signal is as strong as, or 
stronger than, the domestic channel being tuned.

Algeria 549 often clobbers the weaker 550's at coastal sites in the early 
evening.  When Saudi was at full power on 1521, it often blew away WWKB on 
1520.  UK on 1089 has overpowered WBAL at times.

Along eastward facing sites in New England and Atlantic Canada, it isn't 
uncommon to have some TA's sufficiently loud to overpower domestics.

Rarer at inland sites, but not impossible.

As noted below, small changes in distance along the highway caused significant 
changes in signal level because of the differences between built-up areas and 
open ones, between dry / rocky sites and wetland ones.

Hi Mark,

Were you using your vehicle's stock radio and antenna? (My car's stock
radio tunes in 10 kHz steps, so I can't tune in the TAs.)

Stan, WA1LOU
>>

<<
Yesterday I had a drive from here on Cape Cod up through the western suburbs of 
Boston into southern NH and then back.

Around 6:45 p.m. EDT (2245 UTC), as sunset was getting close, TA hets started 
popping up across the AM band on the car radio.  It was interesting to note 
signal variations at different spots along Route 128 (the inner of two loop 
roads around Boston - the outer one being I-495).  The topography along the 
highway made those variations understandable.  The TA signals were only 
slightly noticeable in rocky areas or in ones where hotel and office buildings 
loomed over the road. 

Things cranked up when I got to the "Needham flats", a wide open marshy area 
adjacent to the Charles River.  The transmission sites for 850, 1200, 1330, and 
1600 are located nearby.  Broadcast engineers long ago recognized the 
"get-out-ability factor" of the riparian wetland area.  Algeria on 531 and 549 
occasionally slid into audio; 981 from there was putting a nasty het on the 
oldies from WCAP Lowell.  Spain was another big-time het contributor.  639 was 
a loud one, bits of audio intermingling with 640 CBN.  Even local 740 WJIB was 
taking grief from 738 Barcelona.  612 Morocco was spanking 610 WGIR NH with a 
pretty fierce whistle.

After proceeding south into rockier areas of Dedham, Westwood, and Canton, the 
strengths of the TA hets dropped appreciably.  "Big Blue" (Great Blue Hill, 
elevation ~600 ft.), being on a line between the ocean and that section of 
roadway, no doubt had something to do with that signal reduction.  After 
passing the Route 24 interchange in the Randolph area, with "Big Blue" then out 
of the way, the TA signals cranked up again, doing well right up to the 
Braintree Split (Route 3 interchange), only a couple of miles inland.

Mouth of the Mediterranean signals were more the big bruisers instead of the UK 
stations which had been the heavy hitters the previous two days' sunsets at 
home.

Saudi 1521 must still be off the air since that usually-monster het was just a 
weak-ish one - probably from Spain.

[IRCA] New Chinese Pulse-Type Jammer on 1566?

[d1028gary]

Heard for the first time this morning was a new type of pulsing jammer on 
1566-HLAZ's signal (at 1300 UTC), which obviously wasn't part of the Japanese 
service programming (fading in and out at different times than HLAZ). Has 
anyone else noticed this?

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19

[d1028gary]

Asian propagation cooled off slightly from yesterday's level, but there were 
still many interesting signals throughout the band. Another generous sunrise 
enhancement brought up some obscure signals on both the low and middle band, 
along with a jamming mystery on 1566. 

My session started off at 1255 with a potent signal from 1566-HLAZ's Japanese 
service, the carrier of which sounded a little strange (with minor warbling). 
Upon investigation there was a pulse-type tone (about 700 Hz) every two seconds 
on HLAZ's signal, which obviously wasn't part of the Japanese service 
programming (fading in and out at different intervals). Obviously China is the 
major suspect, although I'll admit that this type of jamming signal doesn't 
sound nearly as obnoxious as the 1053 blaster. Sunrise enhancement around 1315 
brought up the usual Japanese and Korean big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828, 
972 and 1053 at energetic levels in and out, along with a mix of China and HLSA 
on 603, a relatively weak 657-Pyonyang, a mystery station on 738 (didn't sound 
Chinese at all), 1017-CRI's Korean service at a weak level, 1035-CNR1 with 
ghostly Chinese echoes and a fair appearance of 1044-CRI's Japanese service. 
Concentrating on the 738 mystery signal I made a fair-level r
 ecording at 1326, which sounded Korean to me, but there were no Korean 
parallels available to check at the time (HLKG has been received here many 
times during more favorable solar years). These second-tier Asians faded in and 
out from 1315-1340, with none of them sounding particularly energetic. On the 
other hand several Japanese and Korean big guns pounded in with serious 
strength at various times, especially 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA around 1330. 
Overall the propagation wasn't bad for September, and it will be interesting to 
see what transpires on 1566 after this morning. 

738 UnID Korean-sounding speech at fair level at 1326; BEL2 strangely absent. 
No parallels available for HLKG confirmation

Re: [IRCA] New Chinese Pulse-Type Jammer on 1566?

[Nick Hall-Patch]

No time to really DX right now Gary, but I did check at 1300UT, and 
there wasn't anything untoward heard here on 1566 at that 
time.   There were a couple of other weaker carriers with a few Hertz 
of HLAZ, and HLAZ' audio dropped like a stone right across the hour, 
so Murphy was hard at work.  Will keep an ear out for the interference though.


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] West Coast TP report - Sept 19 - Victoria B.C.

[R. Colin Newell]

Listened from 1310 until around 13:50 when some T-Storms started popping up
within 100 miles or so.

What was fascinating (and this was likely coincidental) was while watching
the NHP fish barrel and hearing a couple
of regional lightning crashes -  the "pattern" on the FB took an almost
instant dive. Lightning, sprites, ionosphere; could be a connection I
guess.


*567 Khz* 1317Z NHK1 JOIK Hokkaido network programming (using as one of my
parallel spotters...) fr-gd

*594 Khz*  1318Z NHK1 JOAK Tokyo - solid // to 567 with network programming
- fr. gd.

*612 khz*  1350Z 4QR Brisbane - pretty typical English programming but NOT
exactly parallel to ABC 612 online - live stream

*621 khz* 1351Z 3RN *(t)* Melbourne - very *VERY* tentative with similar
sounding English programming in the limited LSR boost

*675 khz* 1319Z UNID - fairly clearly English programming in the mud and
splash.

*747 Khz* 1322Z NHK2 - JOIB - Sapporo, Hokkaido - Language lessons not near
as good as 774

*774 Khz* 1322Z NHK2 - JOUB - Akita - the powerhouse - also useful for
spotting other NHK2 parallels - it;s always there.

*828 Khz* 1323Z NHK2 - JOBB - Osaka - Typical Japanese programming - gd.

*873 Khz* 1324Z  NHK2 - JOAB - Kumamoto - easy and crisp // to 774 JOUB
Akita (Thank you dual VFO's on Drake R8!)

*891 Khz* 1325Z  NHK1 - JOHK - Sendai, Miyagi - crisp parallel to 594 Khz
with around a 5-10ms echo

*909 Khz* 1343Z NHK2 - JOCB - Nagoya, Aichi - easy parallel to 774 Khz

*918 Khz* 1342Z UNID X 2 - 2 stations at equal levels around 2-3 hz apart
duking it out.

*963 Khz* 1329Z CRI China (600kw) - Russian at pretty decent levels - as
shown in highlight reel

*972 Khz* 1331Z KBS HLCA - Korean at "domestic overwhelming" levels -  "
"   "   "   "

*1008 Khz* 1333Z UNID - Japanese in clearly with independent programming

*1017 Khz* 1334Z - CNR - China assume the pretty darn clear Korean
programming - on attached youtube video)

*1053 Khz* 1337Z - Korea S. - Jammer in pretty solid - no other programming
or competitors noted this AM

*1107 Khz* 1338Z - UNID - Japanese sounding patter by OM - pr.fr.

*1242 Khz* 1344Z - JOLF (t) Tokyo - assuming the hopped up dialog between
grown man and teenage girl announcers. fr.

*1287 Khz* 1345Z - JOHR (t) Hokkaido - assuming the commercial sounding
Japanese language talking

*1566 Khz* 1352Z - HLAZ - Korea - noted almost continually through the
session - although this was not much of an upper band session - Did not
note any oddities or jamming as Gary described - but was not looking for or
expecting anything.

Notable absent this AM - 1575 Khz - that said, there were good hets on some
of the X-Band channels -- and I have yet to hear anything much above 1611

Re: [IRCA] New Chinese Pulse-Type Jammer on 1566?

[Bruce Portzer]

Gary 

Maybe it's splatter from your South Asian local on 1560? Perhaps a percussion 
instrument was making its existence known all the way to 1566. Further checking 
at other times tomorrow may tell more. 

I get electrical buzzsaw noise on 1566 and 1575 at the moment, so I'm doing 
well just to hear HLAZ and VOA.

No time to really DX right now Gary, but I did check at 1300UT, and 
there wasn't anything untoward heard here on 1566 at that 
time. There were a couple of other weaker carriers with a few Hertz 
of HLAZ, and HLAZ' audio dropped like a stone right across the hour, 
so Murphy was hard at work. Will keep an ear out for the interference though.

Thanks Eric!

It crossed my mind that I have a massive "sharing" library on DXer.ca that
most people never see.

If any IRCA list members are interested, go to DXer.ca and create an
account -- send me an e-mail and I will "Boost" your login creds to be able
to access the
restricted library area.

No guarantee how long I will honour this because I am taking the MP3
library off-line for a while soon.

Re: [IRCA] TA carriers yet again

[R. Colin Newell]

Any rental cabins nearby?

For us West Coasters living in British Columbia or Washington state, this
is an attractive and potentially doable proposition.

You are only 500 km to Russia to the West...  you are 1/2 the radio wave
distance to Japan than here on  the West Coast, 2000 km closer to Iceland
and so on.

It's a sweet location. A beverage would rock pretty hard there.

What are flights to Galena like from, I assume, Anchorage?

Re: [IRCA] New Chinese Pulse-Type Jammer on 1566?

[d1028gary]

Nick and Bruce, 

Thanks for your comments on the 1566 signal. 

Nick, I also noted the nosedive in HLAZ's signal after 1300, along with the 
mystery interference. The high band Asians in general tapered off after 1300 
here, with weaker signals on 1575 and 1593 also fizzling out. As for the 
interference, I'm sure that it will be a primary focus of attention in searches 
tomorrow morning, both here and elsewhere. 

Bruce, I also occasionally have electrical noise here affecting the high band, 
but the pulse-type 700 Hz tone every 2 seconds on HLAZ's signal sounded 
completely different than either electrical noise or 1560 splatter (which 
always has a harsh crashing sound, with higher frequency audio). The 
interference noise sounds almost high fidelity, in comparison to either of 
those sounds. 

73, Gary

Re: [IRCA] New Chinese Pulse-Type Jammer on 1566?

[R. Colin Newell]

This signal is usually in the clear for me - so tomorrow morning it is
going to get some extra special scrutiny!

I find this whole jamming phenomenon fascinating - kind of like walking up
to someone on the street when you don't like what they are
saying and going "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA..." as loud as you can.

Juvenile.

Anyway -- going to give it a look.

[IRCA] Logged a NEW AMer in Dec 2015…..and didn't even know it!!

[Robert Ross]

Hi Guys:

   Kinda weird how things work out sometimes……….

Back on Dec/15/2015 I logged the following UNID Station which had me sorta 
puzzled. I figured it was something in North Carolina…..but couldn't figure out 
why WEGG 710 was IDing on 1430 Khz during an AURORA Opening

Here's my Original Logging from back then….Maybe you remember it??? Probably 
not!! HAHAHHAHAH



1430   UNID  NORTH CAROLINA??  Dec/15/15   1900 ESTEE   GOOD
Male DJ with ID @ 1900 EST as " WEGG 710 Rose Hill (And Multi City ID) and 
100.5 W263BE Rose Hill (And Multi City ID). Home of the World's Largest Frying 
Pan - 
SURGE 100.5 and 710 AM and Streaming Worldwide @ SURGERADIO dot org".

The ID is obviously for SURGE RADIO WEGG 710 and W263BE 100.5 in Rose Hill, NC.
However I can't see any correlation with WEGG 710 and any station on 1430 
Khz

Anyone know who may be relaying WEGG 710 on 1430 Khz???

UNID …Probably North Carolina
ROSS, ON.
*

Anyways…while I was on the Cruise to Alaska, I guess someone sent me a Message 
on Facebook, that I didn't see until tonight. This message I received EXPLAINS 
EVERYTHING!!! Not only does it ID what I heard on Dec/15/2015, it also turns 
out to be a NEW STN!!

Here's the Facebook Message I received………...

Greetings Robert,
My name is Ken, I'm the PD at WEGG 710/100.5 (and owner of the 100.5 
translator). I came across a post you made from last year, and you were curious 
about why you were hearing us on 1430 AM. My friend Jimmy Mayo owns WDJS 1430 
AM in Mount Olive, NC. He was simulcasting our internet stream over his station 
during afternoons and evenings for awhile. Meanwhile, around the time you 
described, he was "conducting tests" while running his station at 15,000 watts 
non-directional in the middle of the night, on tower #1 of his 5 tower array. 
Hope that helps! 

So, thanks to this fellow sending me this message….My UNID Logging above now 
becomes…. What I suspected it was….but could never fully explain or confirm!


1430 WDJS Mount Olive  NORTH CAROLINA  Dec/15/15   1900 ESTEE   GOOD

The ID is obviously for SURGE RADIO WEGG 710 and W263BE 100.5 in Rose Hill, NC.

WDJS was RELAYING WEGG 710 during TESTS at this time with 15 kW of Power.

[IRCA] TAs in Alberta

[Nigel Pimblett]

TA carriers evident again tonight.   Even had some audio on the rather 
unusual freq of 891 khz.   Decent carriers on 
1413,1386,1314,1251,1215,1179,1053(2), 981, 954, 864, 783 on a just 
completed scan.  A couple of those are real close to audio too.  Those 
further west might want to check things out this evening.

[IRCA] Arizona TP report for September 19th

[Brian Rachford]

No time for a full analysis, but just a semi-brief report from this
morning's SDR recording, which included audio from some unusual
frequencies.  I've only managed a few recordings this month, and missed the
big opening on the 16th.  10' x 18' Conti Superloop pointing 330 degrees.
Local sunrise around 1320UT.

First, I had some good carriers below 650 kHz, but I've been plagued by an
unknown noise source down there, so nothing doing.

693 fair audio at 1307UT and TOH pip at 1300UT
702 marginal audio at 1256UT
738 weak audio at 1256UT through the typical strong KCBS splatter
747 fair audio at 1205UT and other times; NHK2 EE lessons and TOH pip at
1200UT
774 good audio at 1248UT; NHK2 EE lessons
828 too much splatter from 830
972 fair audio 1301UT
1053 marginal audio at 1236UT and other times
1566 weak audio 1235UT and other times

Visible carriers on every non-10kHz frequencies from 693-1053 kHz, and on
many higher frequencies.

Absolutely nothing on the west coast based on the NHP fish barrel... Which

[IRCA] Alberta TAs for 20 September 2016 (UTC)

[Nigel Pimblett]

 It seem like nothing kills the TAs like posting something 
to the list!  Nice peak just after 0300, but by 0315 only a few whispers 
were left.  Good while it lasted anyhow, although most of what I heard 
was unID.



864 unIDTraces of music at 0308.  Suspect Armenia.

891	unID	Man talking at 0302, but too much 890 splatter to try and ID 
language.  Noted music on a woodwind instrument of some type at 0308.


981 unIDTraces of audio at 0302 through 980 splatter

1053.02 Radio Iasi, ROMANIA Pop music, confirmed // on web stream.

1179unIDTraces of man talking at 0304 through 1180 splatter.

1386unIDTalk by woman at 0312.

1413unIDTraces of man talking at 0313.  Suspect Grigoriopol, Moldova.


1215, the normal "beacon" for TAs was way down the list this time.  The 
opening seemed to favour more southeastern Europe.
Certainly an interesting opening, though with a very abrupt end.  I've 
seen similar before, usually coinciding with a solar upset, so will be 
interested to see if the numbers bear that out this time.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 19 September 2016

[Nigel Pimblett]

 Another OK morning, though audio was limited to the big 
boys from Asia, with the exception of a couple of Aussie X-banders. 
Interestingly Korea didn't make it at all, with even 1566 not delivering 
any audio.



594 JOAKTokyo, JAPANWeak, but definite Japanese at 1255.

693	JOAB	Tokyo, JAPAN	Not around on the first pass, but good signal with 
English lesson at 1250.


747 JOIBSapporo, JAPAN  English lesson talking about numbers at 1242.

774 JOUBAkita, JAPANMan and woman presenting English lesson at 1241.

828 JOBBOsaka, JAPANEnglish lesson, // other NHK2 signals at 1250.

1575VOA THAILANDTalk by man in SE Asian language at 1243.

1611	unID AUSTRALIA		Music, seemingly of the county genre. Clearly 
stronger than the 1611.02 carrier today.


1628.95	unID AUSTRALIA		Popped up briefly with talk by a man at 1253. 
Seemed religious, so maybe Vision.  Four fairly even carriers here 
ranging from 1628.91 to 1629.04



Plenty of decent carriers, including an intriguing strong carrier on 801 
(Guam would be nice!).

Ponderous rock music creeping through on 1215, 0444UT really 
nothing much else though...weak carrier on 1089.  Nothing much 
developed either within the next 45 minutes.

[IRCA] TP 19 Sep Victoria version

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Erratic signals, hard work to dig things out.   Also carriers so 
close to audio; just need a better imagination.   Didn't have 
anything like the strength Colin heard on 963 or 1017, but plenty of 
other things, including some DUs.




pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):


774 JOUB "choosing a wedding dress" 1326UT, for those interested in 
such things...

828 JOBB English lessons 1253UT
1566 HLAZ woman in Japanese 1241, 1307UT, but deep fairly sudden fading



Reasonable audio  at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):


594 JOAK woman and man in Japanese 1251UT
747 JOIB English lessons fighting with splatter 1253UT
954 JOKR pop music, woman in Japanese 1337UT
972 HLCA man in Korean as pips sounded 1200UT
1053 Korean jammer 1331UT
1242 JOLF assumed, pop music briefly at the level 1341UT



not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:


558 HLQH woman in Korean 1339UT, //603 which was weaker
567 JOIK woman in Japanese 1314UT //594
585 7RN slow female vocal //576 which was surprisingly weaker  1326UT
621 3RN? flute music man and woman DU English 1350UT, no parallels
693 JOAB Japanese womsn //747 creeping past evil 690 splatter 1301UT
873 JOGB English lessons //774 1238UT
1206 Yanbian, woman in Korean with man agreeing 1322UT



Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music)


657 unID female singing, too much splat for much else 1302UT, about 
5Hz below nominal.

666 JOBK man in Japanese //594 1302UT
702 hum and NHK2 //774 in Japanese1336, yet moments before was //612, 
therefore 2BL.  Hum is from station 210 Hz low, possibly N. Korea, 
though MWoffset list says 40Hz high (from 2010 though)

837 JOQK  woman talking //594 1331UT
846 NHK2 synchros woman talking //594 1331UT
891 JOHK man and woamn talking, rought  but //594 1355UT
963 man talking, could be Russian, no sign of 1323
981 man talking, Chinese inflection 1343UT; CNR1 SW parallels are 
hard to hear until after local sunrise it seems, so couldn't find a parallel

1017 slow vocal music 1320UT
1134 man talking Japanese inflection
1287 man talking, Japanese inflection  1335UT
1593 woman talking, Chinese inflection 1331UT, not //774
1638 female vocal 1322 and 1329UT
1701 man mumbling 1330UT

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter) lots of near audio here


729 864 909 918 936 945 1008 1044 1089 1098 1107  1116 1143 
1179   1278 1323   1386 1422 1503 1575 1611


best wishes,

Nick
